Default Re: Avo 2 Panel Valve Tester Success - sort of!

Thanks Peter and Peter, I will try the paper to see if anything changes (Peter_Scott). I will try to take a photo of the front spring Peter (Electronpusher0) to see what you think. I've been having fun testing a variety of valves for Good/Bad/Indifferent results which seems to show the pointer sticking at both ends of the scale. Using the Zero control regularly during the process seems to give me a good indication of whether a valve is ok or not. It does look like I need to change the AO8 valve base due to poor contact despite trying to clean the sockets and crimp them in slightly. The B5 and B9a bases seem fine.
